    The front skid uses factory hardware but the tranny and t case use additional hardware that I'll provide. I think we used 1/2" on the 2 bolts that go into the frame to the tcase crossmember.

    He should! Break the new rig in properly. I don't think Warren will have the new gears broken I properly, but he mentioned they may try the jeep.

    He needs to get driving and set them. We just finished the front suspension, skids, roof rack and fumoto valve without draining the oil haha. I'm trying to convince him
